But some companies are not diligent in upgrading their software to add the patches, so they are vulnerable to attackers using the new tool. They hire consultants like Mr Gates to help them make sure they are protected.<BR><BR> Metasploit hacks are available for other software programs, including Microsoft's Windows as well as the Firefox and internet Explorer browsers.<BR><BR> Mr Gates said this is the first Metasploit program to target Oracle's database.<BR><BR> "There is no way to keep these tools out of the hands of people who want to use them for nefarious purposes," said Alan Paller, director of research for the SANS Institute. SANS trains security professionals in areas including use of Metasploit.<BR><BR> Security testers and hackers have previously used other programs to break into Oracle databases, but the new software from Metasploit is easier to operate and runs more quickly than existing options, said Mr Gates.<BR><BR> Metasploit is the most widely used free hacking tool and has a loyal following in the security community.<BR><BR> In addition to letting hackers break into databases over the internet, the Metasploit tool allows rogue employees to access them from their work PCs.<BR><BR> Workers could break into an Oracle system and secretly steal confidential data such as credit card numbers, give themselves pay raises or make other changes to corporate databases, said Mr Finnigan, who has specialised in Oracle security for eight years.<BR><BR> <script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "pub-4228419744604469"; google_ad_width = 728; google_ad_height = 90; google_ad_format = "728x90_as"; google_ad_type = "text_image"; google_ad_channel =""; google_color_border = "E7EFE7"; google_color_bg = "E7EFE7"; google_color_link = "000000"; google_color_url = "000000"; google_color_text = "000000"; //--></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script> <p> <!-- <a href = "http://learnoracle.activeboard.com/index.spark?forumID=122598&p=3&topicID=27926969">Discuss Article</a><br><br> --> <!-- <font face="tahoma" size="2" size="2"> <B><U>More Articles</U></B><BR><BR> 1. <a href="http://oracleonline.info/Advanced_queue.html">What Is Advanced Queuing?</a><br> 2. <a href="http://oracleonline.info/features_advanced_queue.html"> General Features of Advanced Queuing </a><br> 3. <a href="http://oracleonline.info/more_features_advanced_queue.html">Enqueue, Dequeue, Propagation Features of Advanced Queuing</a><br> 4. <a href="http://oracleonline.info/elements_advanced_queue.html">Elements of Advanced Queuing</a><br> 5. <a href="http://oracleonline.info/component_advanced_queue.html">Basic Components of Advanced Queuing</a><br><br> </font> --> </b><font face="tahoma" size="2" size="2"> <P> <A HREF="http://oracleonline.info"> <B>More Tutorials on Oracle dba ...</B></FONT></A> <BR> <BR> <a href="http://www.australianit.news.com.au/story/0,25197,25823748-15306,00.html">Source Website </a> <BR><BR> <!-- Social Bookmarking code starts here --> <!-- * Social Bookmark Script * @ Version 1.9 * @ Copyright (C) 2006-2008 by Alexander Hadj Hassine - All rights reserved * @ Website http://www.social-bookmark-script.com/ * @ * @ By using our script <b> Oracle DBA </b> must leave our copyright notices and the links * @ in the script untouched.
